Can you believe it?

It is hard for me to believe that it is the last day of September. Where are the days/months/(years) going? Time certainly flies when you're having fun...and even when you're not!

Woody is still getting up early...retired or not! I managed to not wake up quite as early as yesterday. He decided that this was the day to have Nathan bring up the boxes of books that he brought home from work and store them at the back of his closet (a long hall-like closet that one only has access to about half of). In doing that, I said that the rest of the "stuff" that was on the floor in his closet needed to be brought out so we could vacuum the floor (something not done often!). So we did that and Nathan came over and put those boxes in an area that was really dead-space. Then Woody worked on getting the things back on his closet floor that had a reason to be there. Then we decided that this was the time to go through some of his clothes that had "just hung" there for some time. Those are now on the couch in the family room...to be gone through. This should inspire me to go through a few other closets in the house...but...

The three girls each had some school time over here this morning. Woody read to Joy after her school time. After the school times, I abandoned ship and went out to lunch with a friend. While I was out, Woody went on a walk...to Linda Lane and back (about 7 miles). He finished a book today and has also watched a library DVD or two.

I guess it is time for me to start thinking about packing...once again! I corresponded with Woody's research nurse at NIH today. I noticed when we got information about his upcoming appointments that they didn't have an MRI listed that had been scheduled on our last visit. I emailed our nurse to make sure it was still on the schedule. But the nurse emailed back and said that the doctor had taken it off the schedule as they would be able to measure what they needed to just from the CT scan. So our journey to Bethesda and NIH now consists of lab work and a CT scan on Monday and then see some of the research team on Tuesday and hear about what they see or don't see in the scans!
